TP
State your name. Did not have sexual relations with that man, Bubba. That big, beautiful Bill. Oh, the millions of billions of hours we've spent together. And if I did have relations with him, you know, it'd be the best relations he's ever had. Can't hold a candle to Monica. Hillary even. And yes, it's real.
Sid
Okay, that was really good. I like how you did not insert your name. Oh.
TP
I mean, he didn't, but, you know, that was my first orange impression. Hopefully not my last.
Sid
No, I don't think it'll be your last.
TP
Yeah. What a clown.
Sid
All right, take us there.
Amadi Brooks
We say what we want. Yeah. We say what we feel. Off topic, out of pocket, anything you need, they got it. Why don't you shout? We know they going to block it when it's game time and you know I'm going to block them. And we cover everything like who harder than us and yeah, we looking down haters. Cause they smaller than us and yeah, my flow is so damn sick I be coughing it up. You said that we gonna fly. Well then I'm calling your blood.

Sid
Gracias. Oh, gracias. Because guess who signed up for Spanish lesson? Stop, Stop. You doubted me. You doubted me. Tell the truth.
TP
I did doubt you all the way.
Sid
I literally made Marty take a video of me.
TP
So there's evidence.
Sid
There's evidence that I signed up for the calendly invite. My appointment is. Let me make sure I don't miss it.
TP
Wait, I also want to know what the feedback was like on the response. Like, it's been over a year for you to follow up. So, okay. Does she act like it was weird? You haven't even started yet.
Sid
Mi amiga. Mi amiga. Whitney. She said, hola, Sydney, just to remind you that you can still continue with your Spanish lessons. Espero verte muy pronto with some, like, praise hands liqueur link para gendar. I said, hola, Alicia must have told you that I've been meaning to reach out. Lol. Because she always tries to speak Spanish to encourage me to speak Spanish. And my response, I'm like, girl, no, no, no, lo siento, pero, no, no, no, no, no gonbrando. No gonbrando.
TP
You have like, such an American accent too.
Sid
Like, so she said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Espero vertebra. That was the laugh. So I signed up. My class is on Friday.
TP
Oh, this upcoming Friday?

So excited about that. Oh, no. So I'm excited about that.
TP

Sid
Huh? Oh, mi adios. Adios mio. Oh, yeah.
TP
I'm just like. So it still counted.
Sid
Not you Spanish dyslexic.
TP
I'm dyslexia. I said, what's my dyslexia? Doesn't discriminate on language.
Sid
I'm like, now, I don't know a lot, but I don't know that at all, what you just said.
TP
Santo Lo.
Sid
So, all right, we're here in person.
TP
Again, y', all, but guess where we are. You guessed it. You love Dallas. Yeah, we're in Dallas, y'.
Sid
All.
TP
4.
Sid
Oh, we're in Dallas. Let me.
TP
Hey, hey, hey. Teach me how to Dougie. Teach me. Teach me how to. Hey. Yeah. Hey.
Amadi Brooks
Oh. Ooh.
Sid
Okay. We used to go crazy in the Dougie.
TP
You know what they said? You like in lean, when it rock with it and break your spleen with it, people would like.
Sid
People were attempting to really go that.
TP
Hard to shatter that spleen. I don't know. I can't. I could locate the spleen on the body, but through that song, I figured it had to be in your movies.
Sid
You moving your body so much, break your spleen. I want to see your intestines on the ground.
TP
I want to see you getting rushed to the er. And if you're not, then you didn't do it properly.
Sid
You're sick. So we're here in Dallas, y'. All. We're here for the American Black Film Festival. Do this tp. Damn right.
TP
Yeah, y'.
Sid
All.
TP
We spoke at the American Black Film Festival. Yeah, you heard that? Both of us did. Because black people are inclusive. I was invited to the ultimate barbecue, which was the American Black Film Festival. It was such a treat.
Sid
It was.
TP
We were on a panel with Jack from Ally, and. And she was phenomenal, honestly, like, carried the whole thing so beautifully.
Sid
Yeah, shout out, Ally.
TP
You know where your money goes.
Sid
Love, Ally.
TP
Shout out to Ally.
Sid
But the conversation was really good with Jack. We got to talk about. So it was about creative storytelling and sports and about, like, business and content. So we're talking about our pod, about the show. But we also had a chance to have this conversation with Jack Howard from Ally, and she. She gave us, like, an hour long crash course on, like, money and values.
TP
One of their free courses. Check out ally.com.
Sid
One of their free courses. But she gave it to us a few days before we showed up here and it was talking about like how your values align with your spending, how money and your past relationships with money impact your, your spending habits impact your, your relationships, romantic or platonic, like all of these things that we're learning. And I'm like, oh this is very interesting, like information. And I think one of the biggest takeaways for me from her conversation was Talking about how 47% of Gen Z say that they like buy fashion to like fit in or stay relevant or like they do things to go take pictures with people and they do it and they're going in debt to do it. Like people are willing to go hang out with friends knowing that this is gonna cost them but they're trying to keep up with the Joneses.
TP
And I'm like they got a really good story post.
Sid
They got a really good story post. But I'm like this is so damaging that we've gotten to the point where social media is. You can't even enjoy your time out if you know, okay, this swipe is actually about to like stop me from paying rent. But I'm a still I'm going to go through and do it because I want a picture to post online. Like that's scary.
TP
Of this guy friend my age and he was talking to me, he's like dating right now. He was in a really long relationship, now he's just casually dating. He's just trying to find. He's actually a really good guy. He was telling me that he's actually like really?
Sid
Really? You've done this like three times this weekend.
TP
What have good taste? Whatever Sid, that's not the point. But I'm like maybe why didn't he ask me out? I guess I don't know, whatever. So he was telling me that like he goes on dates with like age appropriate women which is a problem in this country. And he says that if somebody, if he's on a date and somebody takes a picture of their meal before they start eating, like there's not going to be a follow up date. He was like, that's like probably one of the most.
Sid
Oh, he want to tell you.
TP
Yeah, cuz he's like I'm not eating dinner to show my friends that I'm eating dinner with you. I'm having dinner. I'm trying to enjoy my moment, I'm trying to get to know you and I'm trying to enjoy the food that I'm paying for to enjoy my experience. I don't need other People to enjoy my experience. So he's like, my. One of my biggest icks is when the food comes out, be like.
Sid
We just be like, it's crazy.
TP
Move your water cup. Move your water cup. They're like, no, no, no, don't bite.
Sid
Don'T bite, don't bite. It's like, girl, I'm so hungry. Like, we've been talking about how hungry you touch it. It's like, ruining friendships. But I'm like, that's scary. But what's his name? What's the guy's name?
TP
His name is Anonymous. Jamal.
Sid
Oh, my fault, my fault, my fault. Anyways, but that seems strict. But it. I feel like that's a valid thing to kind of point to. Like, if that's his preference, I'd rather.
TP
I, like, respect that because I'm like, a lot of people right now. I guess Gen Zers, 47% of you guys, if y' all would also have these same icks, we wouldn't be in a place where we've normalized now. Keeping up with the Joneses. And not only, like, the spending piece, but you see stories about how people are, like, risking their lives and actually losing their lives trying to get, like, a selfie. A dangerous selfie.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
Or something like this. I'm like, it's not worth it. It really isn't worth it.
Sid
Like that. Yeah.
TP
But, yeah, the spending. I'm like, there's a lot of really amazing ways, A, to find value and B, to, like, do things on a budget. Some of the best moments I have. Nothing was actually purchased. Not at all.
Sid
It was vibes.
TP
Like, we got hungry afterwards. Maybe we were having such a good time. But nothing was purchased in the moment.
Sid
So we gotta get back to. People like, you shouldn't be. Don't be ashamed to let your friends know that you're in a position where, like, look, I can't afford to go out every week. Like, can we just. Can we stay inside? Like, do something to hang out? Like, let's buy groceries and, like, make a meal together. So then we're spending time in the kitchen together. We're watching ourselves, like, cook something. We get to taste it. If it's good, excellent. If it's not good. Like, we got a funny story about our trash cooking to tell. But, like, go work out with friends. Go, like, have a picnic outside. Like, there are cost efficient ways. And if you have a friend circle where nobody ever wants to adjust to your lack of money, you. You might need to switch it up, because that's not a Good sign.
TP
That's not a good sign. Also, like, we're a big board game advocate. Like if you spend 15 to $20, I mean now it's like inflation, so about 70. But if you, if you get a board game, like, we pay. Play pirates here all the time. There's other games that we trickle in. We already trickle in, but that was a one time purchase that has had everlasting years worth of enjoyment and memories and good times. The amount of people that we suckered into playing that game, that also fell in love with it.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
Crazy. But also we made the Pirate Journal.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
So there's this game, it's called Pirates here. It's from like the 90s. They don't make it anymore, so good luck finding it. But we, if you win the game, we made a pirate journal that you get to pretty much like talk shit.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
To everybody else that lost the game and make your journal entry. And I was like, and the only.
Sid
Way you can see other people's entries. You have to win a game to look in the book. You can't just look in the book. This isn't fucking pity party. If you didn't win, you don't look. And it's that simple. You know what I'm saying? This isn't. Everybody wins. I can't stand that kind of thing.
TP
We're not just giving out participation trophies.
Sid
People need to learn early. There is a loser and there is a winner. Clear distinction. If you don't like being the loser, find out a way to be even.
TP
Cheat if you have to. Don't get caught.
Sid
That brings me to a point. Y' all have some integrity. I have a confession. I have a confession. Oh, forgot to say, this episode is about what's going on in my mind. Matter of fact, let's bring in our guest. Our first guest on the show, y'. All. We're gonna bring in my lady, Ahmadi Brooks. Come on in, Amani. Let's. Let's add clapping, y' all in post audience.
Amadi Brooks
Amani. What is it, bestie?
TP
How we doing, bestie?
Sid
Man, y', all, we happy to be here.
TP
I finally brought some sense onto the pod.
Sid
So we thought this would be fun. Like, we're all here for abff. We were like, we like for y' all to feel like unsupervised is a kickback with y'.
Amadi Brooks
All.
Sid
Yeah, y' all are babysitting us, but.
TP
But we don't need it.
Sid
We invited a friend over, so deal with it.
Amadi Brooks
That's an extra fee.
Sid
We haven't Paid them, so. Shh. So.
TP
Not Marty outing us.
Sid
Amadi Ahmadi is my girlfriend. My style. Our stylist at times. Also, my assistant. Does so much, wears so many hats, but is also a creative in her own right.
TP
My best sister wife.
Sid
Your sister wife? Yeah, this is the sister wife, y'. All.
TP
I feel like y' all are the trio's full.
Amadi Brooks
The Game of Thrones thing when they're like, daughter of.
Sid
Oh, yeah. When they're doing Khaleesi, she's like the mother of dragons.
TP
Me neither.
Sid
I don't watch that sometimes. Okay. All right. But anyways, it's super fun to have you here. We're gonna have some fun chit chat. So this whole episode is me just telling y' all stuff that's been on my mind.
TP
We know minimal about what's going on.
Sid
Yeah. I just wanted them to be caught off guard and just have conversation. Like, we are now going on a journey into my mind. Close your eyes. This is what it sounds like. Okay. Going to the kitchen. Okay. Start unloading the dishwasher. Okay. I open up the dishwasher. Oh, wait, wait. But I was supposed to. I was cleaning up in the other room. I need to go in the other room and finish what I was doing. But also, wait, I started taking stuff out the dryer. I need to go in there and finish that. And then. Oh, wait, somebody ring the. Did I hear the door or did I hear a vibration? Okay. Because sometimes I feel like a vibration is like I'm just always hearing vibration. I'm like, am I just addicted to my phone, or did I really just get a text? And then I go over there. Let me go check my phone. Okay. I didn't get a text. So I am addicted to my phone or something. Or addicted to the dopamine of hearing a sound that I have a text. So what's that about? But anyways, what was I doing before this? So that's a little bit of how my mind works.
TP
Relatable.
Sid
So that's how the show is gonna go. Y' all ready?
TP
Yeah.
Sid
Okay. So what I was about to confess to y' all is that y' all need to have integrity, which I did it in college. I plagiarized, and I got caught, y'. All. Whoa.
TP
God.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
Why you just.
Sid
Because these are the babysitters. Like, I have to be honest with them. Okay.
TP
You have to be honest with me first. Like, what if I don't want to be friends with a plagiarist?
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
Red flags.
Sid
But it was. It was a Mistake I had to grow from.
TP
Okay.
Sid
I needed to do my homework on time. I waited so late, I procrastinated to the point of I was frozen. Even though I had tons of time to work on this paper. But then it was becoming crunch time. And y' all know me, if I'm tired, I'm falling asleep. When people talk about pulling all nighters and stuff like that. I can't pull an all nighter. I gotta wake up early. But I, I overslept. So now I have to. I gotta turn the paper in.
Amadi Brooks
So. Well, like, were you a good plagiarizer though? Like, did you at least try?
Sid
Apparently not, no.
TP
She got caught.
Sid
Apparently not.
Amadi Brooks
I know, but like if this is something do all the time, like, yeah.
Sid
Right. I wasn't like plagiarizing like that. I know I knew how to, you know, like take a source and adjust what I'm saying.
Amadi Brooks
But this time you were just like.
Sid
This time I had to, I had to get it, get it in. And I'm thinking, you know, I might be.
Amadi Brooks
You didn't cite. You could have been like a long ass citation.
Sid
I don't even know if I had peer reviewed sources on there. So it was probably just like where is this from?
Amadi Brooks
Articles, links it at the end there's like a hyper. My citation page.
TP
You have like an exponent in there. It's like, oh my God.
Amadi Brooks
Okay.
Sid
No, I'm like, okay, okay, okay, okay. But that was just me being honest with the babysitters. Okay. While we were here.
TP
No, that's you being honest with all of us. Like we were not.
Amadi Brooks
We didn't eat. I don't know. That was the first thought.
TP

Sid
Marty's here with us and we all went to. We went to Marshall's the other day and TP tell us about your find y'. All.
TP
So I'm a sucker for a deal. Like I will find a deal and I'll also make sure the deal is Dealing. I'm like, all right. So we go into Marshalls for something completely unrelated. I didn't actually need anything from Marshalls, but who actually ever does? Like, I always leave with a candle. And I'm like, damn, I didn't even need this candle.
Amadi Brooks
I love Marshalls.
TP
I love Marshalls. You just find things that you.
Sid
You don't know you need.
TP
You don't need them, but you do need them.
Sid
You go in there to be inspired.
TP
It's a dopamine by.
Amadi Brooks
And it's like a brag. Like when somebody compliments you. Like Marshalls, bro.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
Because it also shows that you're a finder.
TP
It's like, you took time, 99.
Amadi Brooks
You took time.
Sid
There's a message in that. You might have to dig through those. Resilience.
Amadi Brooks
Somebody tells me they have a nice find from Marshalls. I know. I know something about you, girl.
Sid
Yeah. You're motivated.
Amadi Brooks
I respect you.
TP
You're on the same level as, like, a really good thrifter to me, 100%. Which brings me to my story. I'm just complimenting myself here.
Sid
You are. We all.
TP
So we're scouring through the hat section. We are hat fanatics. Lids sponsor us, but we're scouring through the hats, and I see this neon green hat that, like, just catches my eye. I pull it out, and it's the. It's the Mercedes hat that Lewis Hamilton did right before he went to Ferrari. So I pulled it out. There's no tag on it. So I'm like, yeah, this is about to be a conversation at the. At the checkout counter. I was like, yeah, there's no tag.
Amadi Brooks
But it'd be worth it.
TP
They say, we need a price check. They go. They look at the hat section. I was like, it's the only one. So they come back and they're like, is six dollars okay?
Amadi Brooks
I was like, that's my favorite six when it's the last one. So they just start playing the price, right Any. I'm like, oh.
TP
They're like. I'm like, I don't know. That's a little too high for my price range. Actually.
Amadi Brooks
We could go 4.99. I love a 4.99. Marshalls tag. Ross. Ross is good for a 4.99.
TP
Roz Burlington. So when they tell me it's $6, I give them attitude. Like, oh, my God. Okay, fine.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
I don't even make it out the store. I lean over to Marty. I was like, this is a $70 hat.
Amadi Brooks
No dead ass. TP was telling me that at the counter.
Sid
At the counter, she was turning to me.
Amadi Brooks
She was like, she already had it pulled up.
TP
I pulled it up. I googled it. I was like, this is actually a $70 hat, and it's now exclusive because they don't make them anymore. He can't collaborate with Mercedes anymore. Contractually, I was hot.
Sid
I tried to go back over to the hat.
Amadi Brooks
That's what I went over. I started searching over there. They had some Von Dutch purses. I had that nice ass fur hat I got.
TP
Yeah, that fur hat was cute.
Amadi Brooks
Before I even walked out the store, I got two compliments on the hat.
Sid
What?
TP
Yeah, you had the hat on, and I didn't even realize that you didn't walk in with the hat.
Amadi Brooks
That's how lie the hat was, y'.
TP
All.
Amadi Brooks
I can't wait to wear it.
Sid
That was cool. That was cool. But that story is excellent because, like, you just. You find gems in there. But it also speaks to the conversation that we were having with Jack about, like. But TP and I are both, like, we're both savers. I feel like you're a saver as well. Like, we all kind of. We don't make, like, big purchases. We don't splurge on stuff. But Jack was like, look, when you start making money to have a nest egg and to feel comfortable, don't just feel like you gotta save, save, save all the time. It's good to save, but, like, put some money aside for you to. If your values align with you having experiences, then let that portion of money set to the side be for you to have experiences. Or if you want to splurge on an item that you want, then feel comfortable with doing that and, like, buying something that's going to make you happy, whatever. So that takes us into this game. Marty's going to host for us. Mari, you want to take it away?
Amadi Brooks
Sure. So we are playing today. Do I need to put, like, the voice on and everything? Like, if you want to do the music. Do y' all remember the music?
Sid
Oh, shoot. For prices, right?
Amadi Brooks
Cue the Price is Right music. It's time to play. The Price isn't Right.
TP
Come on down.
Amadi Brooks
What y' all outfits? What y' all's costumes?
TP
Mine probably says, like, I love you, yams and chip.
Amadi Brooks
I can see it. Yours.
Sid
Oh, I'm nervous.
Amadi Brooks
It's okay. This is not even a part of the game yet. Just.
TP
No, I know, but it should be because she would be docking points for this.
Sid
Wait, but you're. Wait, what'd you. What Was the question.
TP
What would your shirt say?
Amadi Brooks
What would your costume be like?
TP
They don't have to let anyone on the Price is Right.
Amadi Brooks
They have something on their shirt a lot of times, like, they do something, but it's okay. Maybe you just came in. You just came in as yourself. That's fine.
TP
So boring.
Amadi Brooks
Anyways, our contestants today are Sid and TP okay, so our first item is a Stanley 40 ounce quencher in a light limited edition color, Cosmo pink.
Sid
Okay.
TP
Cosmo pink. So we have to guess what the price. We think the price is in our head.
Sid
49.99.
Amadi Brooks
Oh, okay.
TP
Oh, no. Ever since that car burnt and the Stanley cup survived with the ice still icy in it, I'm like, that seems like inflation. So I'm gonna go with $65 for a water bottle.
Amadi Brooks
Okay.
Sid
Oh, wait, can I take you wrong?
TP
Actually, I want to say 65.99, so.
Amadi Brooks
65.99.
TP
Well, I just added 99 to it, cuz I'm like, nobody has a flat price.
Sid
49.99.
Amadi Brooks
49.99. Okay. Yeah. I got to explain the rules to me. You're close.
Sid
Without going over.
TP
We both went over.
Amadi Brooks
Right? So who wins? They both lost. They both go back in the crowd.
TP
No, we both.
Amadi Brooks
That means the real price is $45 retail.
Sid
Okay, first of all, no, you went over.
TP
No, you went over on the prices. Right. Your sign would have said over, and my sign would have have said over.
Sid
Next one. We're staying in the game or the vacation. Thank y'. All. I elbow the next person.
TP
I was just 99 cents off.
Sid
Get the back. Next question. Drew Carey. Next question.
Amadi Brooks
I need, like, you look back over. I got on, like, a suit and. And glasses.
TP
They're, like, dragging us out. We just refuse to lose.
Sid
Okay, next item.
Amadi Brooks
Okay, the next item is a Dior lip glow oil. I love my lip gloss Dior, though.
Sid
Okay. Glowing. Yeah.
TP
Okay.
Sid
80. No, 100. No. 75.
Amadi Brooks
How many tries do they get?
Sid
75.
TP
Hey, don't group me in. I haven't even said one yet.
Sid
75.
Amadi Brooks
I was talking about the contestants for a lip glow.
TP
So I'm just gonna have to compare this to what I deal with. Aquaphor is roughly seven, eight bucks. So Dior. We're gonna have to raise that price. Also, keep in mind, inflation's still a thing.
Amadi Brooks
I think there's a timer.
TP
Oh, I'm gonna go 75.99.
Amadi Brooks
Y' all are both over. Go into the crowd. It's $42. Can we get some New contestants.
TP
Are we getting deals or are we getting screwed over in the store? Our price evaluations are so bad.
Amadi Brooks
What did y' all learn in y' all seminar? Check the notes. I know. I saw y' all taking notes, man.
Sid
Next one, please.
Amadi Brooks
Okay, Here we go. Ugg classic ultra mini boots.
Sid
Oh, my God. So cute. $124.99.
Amadi Brooks
Okay.
TP
$114.
Amadi Brooks
Okay. 124. 99.
TP
Did she go over?
Amadi Brooks
Sydney's the closest. The price is $160.
TP
That's well overpriced.
Sid
Okay.
Amadi Brooks
They're classics, and they're ultra, and they're mini.
Sid
That was a. That was a good game. The moral of our. Our money talk and our conversation with Jack is for y' all to not buy things to impress other people. Set money aside if you're able to. To. To splurge on items to bring you joy. And also, if your friends are broke, don't shame them. Let's all try to find ways to spend time together without spending a lot of money.
TP
I think we also learned in this conversation that what our value is in our head isn't necessarily the true value of the product. And also, the true value of the product could be overvalued us. So everything is really person by person.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
But again, yeah, it's very subjective, because I would not value the Uggs respectfully. Like, I don't have any ultra minis, but.
Sid
Okay. All right. Next part into my mind, y', all, I was thinking, oh, maybe.
TP
Okay, sorry. No, that's all right.
Amadi Brooks
We'll talk about it. Cool.
TP
Oh, no, that's just a me and mi thing.
Sid
Oh, okay. Okay. So another thing that I was thinking about recently was narcissists and just, like, dangerous people. You know what I'm saying? Very dangerous people. Very scared of their behavior.
Amadi Brooks
Terrifying.
Sid
But I will say it's. It is admirable the way you can watch them twist anything against you.
TP
It's a skill.
Sid
It's definitely a skill. And I think there's a level of. This is, like, when emotional intelligence is actually, like, weaponized sometimes, because you just. Huh.
Amadi Brooks
It's the most toxic of two.
Sid
It's. It's so toxic. But I do want to play a game with y', all, if you don't mind.
Amadi Brooks
I'm like, where is this going?
Sid
So I would love for y' all.
TP
To give me, like, we're playing a gaslighting game.
Sid
Yes. This is called Gaslight Me.
Amadi Brooks
Unsupervised.
Sid
So this is a fun game where I will take Any prompt that y' all give.
TP
This is a fun game.
Sid
Any. Any prompt that y' all give me, we're gonna have like a 30 second dialogue.
TP
Okay.
Sid
Of you saying what your problem is or coming to me with something you think you could talk to me about. And I am going to actively guess. All right. Marty.
Amadi Brooks
Hey, thanks for going to the store. Did you get the. The tea I asked for?
Sid
I didn't hear you ask for tea.
Amadi Brooks
Oh, it's funny because you called me and you asked me, like, what I wanted from the store, so I said tea.
Sid
Oh, I think I must have also been having a conversation with TP because we were walking, so I wasn't like.
Amadi Brooks
Fully, but it was the only thing I asked for.
Sid
I know, but I'm also having another conversation with somebody, so I didn't. It didn't register to me what you said because I'm having a real life conversation too, not just through the phone.
Amadi Brooks
So you can't just call me and just have a one on one conversation. You called me for the one thing. I gave you the answer to that one thing.
Sid
I just. I mean, you can order another. You can order one here, I guess, or like I can order you one here. I don't think anybody's at fault, but we can get one here instead of, I guess, like complaining about it on air.
Amadi Brooks
That's a 10 out of 10, babes.
TP
There's plenty of tea in the world.
Amadi Brooks
That is a 10 out of 10.
TP
That was so.
Amadi Brooks
That's the shit Nightmares is made out of. Because I've dealt with that shit for real before.
TP
Yeah.
Sid
In real life, nightmares are bad.
Amadi Brooks
People are scary.
Sid
No, they are scary. They are scary.
TP
Anyway, our next show is actually be called To Catch a Narcissist.
Sid
That'll be fun.
TP
We do have a friend named Sequoia who doesn't believe in gaslighting. We had a full conversation two years ago. I'm actually in Dallas, the birthplace of.
Sid
Of the women's shelter.
TP
Yeah, the women's shelter. That's where it was founded. But Sequoia. We had to explain to Sequoia what. What gaslighting meant. And she pretty much just said it's.
Amadi Brooks
Not a real thing.
Sid
Like doesn't believe in it. I was like, this isn't like one of the things to not believe in.
Amadi Brooks
It exists, but also as a non believer is, I would say, a world champion at it.
Sid
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amadi Brooks
So that's a little scary.
Sid
She scares Jason.
Amadi Brooks
Love you, Koi.
Sid
Love you so much, Koya.
Amadi Brooks
But you do scare us sometimes.
Sid
But, yeah, get a therapist.
TP
With love. Get a therapist.
Sid
Okay, so speaking of scary stuff. All right. Mari showed me. Somehow our conversation last night led to this movie called Teenage Kraken. So she showed me the trailer. I'd never seen it. Apparently, it's like a decade old, if not more. And I'm looking. I'm like, oh, like, this is such a cool concept. Like, I want to. I want to watch this movie. But when they showed the mermaids, the mermaid is viewed as, like, a narcissist in this movie.
Amadi Brooks
Mermaids are not good people.
Sid
Mermaids are not good people. But I'm like, this makes me think about. We were like, mermaids have really good pr.
TP
Ariel.
Sid
In every other situation where I see mermaids, they're like. But I don't want to be em. Like.
Amadi Brooks
But I do associate mermaids with, like, sirens, the ones who sing to people who, like, crash their boat. Oh.
Sid
Yeah. So I. I mean, but I feel like they.
Amadi Brooks
They overcame that. Ariel helped them.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
Ariel cleaned up their image.
Sid
Sirens are doing that for a reason. Because it's usually women, and they're making the men crash. Right. They understand that we have too in. So you are their PR Oh, I'm mermaid pr. It's high and pr. No, I'm like, okay. So it. It made me think, though. Like, what do y' all feel like has really good PR in any, like, arena? Like, mine is Q tips. Like, I feel like Q tips. They don't even make commercials, actually. Like, they feel like they don't even have to do the work to put their product in front of you. They're like, you're gonna use it. Even though you learn that Q tips are bad for you, they say they're like, show stuff. And they're like, yeah, it's actually pushing.
Amadi Brooks
But when you look at the box, the back of the box of the Q tips, they have, like, multiple circles that go, like, all around and decorate it. Of all the things you can do with that Q tip.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
And think about how often you buy Q Tips. You do not buy Q Tips. Often you buy that one big one, and it just lasts you forever.
Sid
Years seems to last.
Amadi Brooks
It don't matter. Every day.
Sid
They just never go away.
Amadi Brooks
You finding new ones you like, oh, I forgot. I put Q tips over here.
Sid
No facts. So I'm like, Q tips do a good job of not making you realize you don't need that tool because you're pushing wax further in. But people keep buying Q tips. So what do y' all feel like has good PR or could use better pr.
TP
So you got to hear me out on this one. I don't want any reactions, Okay. I just think sharks have really bad pr. Like, everybody is like, oh, I'm so scared of a shark. Listen, I've been into the ocean in a live body of water.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
Maybe four times in the past five years. Yeah, right.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
And they're like, oh, you can get killed by a shark. Yeah. Well, did you know that the deadliest animal in the world are actually mosquitoes?
Amadi Brooks
OH.
TP
Causing about 725, 000 to 1 million deaths globally per year.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
And no one's talking about mosquitoes.
Sid
They're like, ah, they do.
TP
Oh, they're annoying.
Amadi Brooks
Yeah.
TP
Itchy. But no one's like, be careful. They're gonna kill you.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
So I just think sharks.
Sid
Until it was like, West Nile virus. Yeah.
TP
That was actually a really scary time.
Sid
But they bounced back from that. They really still haven't had. We just forgot.
Amadi Brooks
That commercial is just not enough. But I do have, like, infomercials. Like, if you've lost a loved one to a mosquito bite, which is serious. This is not fun.
TP
No, it happens. It happens a lot. So routing out the top. I don't know how many this is, but we got mosquitoes. Next we have venomous snakes.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
Next we have dogs.
Sid
I do want to talk to you, though, about sharks. Very white thing to say, because I'm very much not getting into an ocean. Even if I can swim well, I'm not getting into shark infested.
Amadi Brooks
I kind of would love to see, but I would love to see, like, the numbers on, like, number of, like, black people eating by sharks.
Sid
Right.
Amadi Brooks
Well, nobody gets eaten by sharks technically.
TP
But, like, they don't even like what we taste like. That's what the white community says, at.
Sid
Least, because you'll see videos. And it's a white guy in the ocean, and he's like, for shocks, you just got to hit the nose whenever they open up their mouth to them.
Amadi Brooks
Anyway, why are we even in this situation? I'll never forget when I was living in Florida, me and Pyre was on the beach. A shark washed up or some shit. Or they, like, brought it from his tail out the water because it was, like, beached. So I'm watching.
TP
They were. They were white helping the shark.
Sid
Y' all know, there's.
TP
Again, there's different kinds of white people.
Amadi Brooks
You know, who's helping shark? And I was just. Me and Pyre, my dog. We were just, like, watching from afar, like, shark on the beach. Why are they. They around it? They're circling it.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
They put it back in the water. Like people help to bring. Put it back in the water. Y' all know within 30 minutes them motherfuckers was back in the water.
Sid
No way.
Amadi Brooks
I said it's time to go.
Sid
It's absolutely time to go. Absolutely.
Amadi Brooks
We will never be back to this beach. Actually, this was the last time. Say goodbye, pyre.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
We'll never get back in these waters.
Sid
No, we won't.
TP
It is very scary.
Amadi Brooks
Not at least over in this area.
Sid
No, no, no, no. Okay. Money, you got to give us yours. What could use better.
Amadi Brooks
This was something that I saw. So this is something that. This is not an original thought, but I saw it and I was like, actually, they have a point. And I started going down a rabbit hole.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
Otters.
TP
No, no.
Amadi Brooks
And this is exactly what I mean.
Sid
Their number one fan. Are you good?
Amadi Brooks
Yes. That's their pr. Everybody thinks they're so cute. You can get a little stuffed animal otter. You go to the aquarium. They doing. They. They jumping in the water. You watching them through the glass.
Sid
If you wasn't there. Otter Dave and Buster's. Wasn't that one of the toys?
Amadi Brooks
Yes, it was one of the toys. One of the big stuffed animals was like an otter.
TP
And it was freaking adorable.
Amadi Brooks
They sleep on their back.
TP
They're like pudgy little rounded head.
Amadi Brooks
Yeah. If you search otter attack right now and go to news on Google, there is person hospitalized after possible otter bite. Woman see woman sues somebody for following the otter attack of her two year old daughter experience. I was viciously attacked by a group of otters. I saw a picture the other day on Twitter.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
This woman was running. I don't know. She was running by like a river, whatever. She got attacked by a group of otters. She's sitting on the bench. She bloodied up. Bloodied up. And you know, they got the most playful picture next to her of the otters just like frolicking and shit. And I'm like, no, these. They are. They're very dangerous and very vicious. Don't they eat their babies?
Sid
Yeah, I think they eat their babies. Like I don't know what the circumstances are.
Amadi Brooks
And y' all got them laid up in your bed, stuffed up cuties. Them babies they holding on their stomach lunch.
Sid
That's sick.
Amadi Brooks
We gotta. We gotta do some major.
Sid
Because it's a gang otter attacks. Like.
Amadi Brooks
What are groups of otters called? There's some groups that are living.
Sid
They're families.
Amadi Brooks
They're called Families.
TP
I just made that up.
Amadi Brooks
Okay.
TP
But I just wanted to say it confidently enough for you guys. A second guess, looking it up.
Sid
They're called.
Amadi Brooks
A raft. A raft. A romp, A bevy. A family. You were right. TP Told you so. So it really is a whole problem. You got them. You're calling them family. You're humanizing them. They're animals.
Sid
And vicious ones. I'm gonna just call the segment Ice Cream. Ice Cream. You scream, we all scream ice cream. All right, so I'm gonna give y'. All.
TP
Wait. Everyone go around the room and say their favorite ice cream flavor.
Sid
Okay? All right. Lemon custard from Baskin Robbins.

Okay.
Sid
Or. Cookies and cream. Strawberry or butter pecan.
TP
Oh, my God. Give a top 10 list.
Sid
Go.
TP
Mine is. My number one of all time is Baskin Robbins. Baskin Robbins mint chocolate chip.
Sid
I knew it.
Amadi Brooks
That's white.
TP
And then that's not white. That's a communal love. Everybody loves it. And then also follow a close second is the petit 4 ice cream from the Creole Creamery in New Orleans.
Amadi Brooks
Baby.
Sid
I love y'.
TP
All. Anyway, Marty, what was yours?
Amadi Brooks
I like a little chocolate chip cookie dough.
TP
Okay.
Amadi Brooks
That's my favorite, but classic.
Sid
Oh, okay.
Amadi Brooks
I don't do it with the chunks of this chocolate in it.
TP
Okay.
Amadi Brooks
Give me just basic chocolate. Chocolate chip, cookie dough, little chocolate chips. Yeah, I'm not a huge chocolate person. Once you start throwing them big ass chunks of chocolate in there, count me out. Yeah, but I do like. I like a little Dairy Queen.
TP
Oh, shock.
Amadi Brooks
Yeah. Chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard.
TP
Okay, you know what people don't talk about enough? The hard shell chocolate cone on soft serve ice cream. That's all I gotta say.
Sid
Okay.
Amadi Brooks
Okay.
Sid
All right, well, now we are passionate. All right? So I'm gonna give y' all a person or a type of person, and y' all are gonna give me what kind of ice cream you think they eat. All right, So a grandma.
TP
Oh, pecan, praline, pistachio. Yeah, that's a good one.
Sid
Okay.
TP
I love that we both went nutty.
Sid
Okay, Just think about, like a history teacher.
TP
German chocolate.
Amadi Brooks
I was gonna say something like toffee. I don't know.
TP
Oh.
Sid
Oh, my gosh. Yes. I like that one.
Amadi Brooks
Old timey they would like.
Sid
I like that. I like that. A trash collector.
TP
Oh, Rocky road. I see a lot of, like, mix ins in there.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
Like, it's a really good, rich, fulfilling, but also a lot of textures.
Amadi Brooks
Okay, I hear you. I feel like I'm going down that same lane, but I'm going, I don't know the exact name of the ice cream, but it's like one of them Ben and Jerry ice creams that when you see it in the store, you never buy it. But you looking at it, like, how many got all that. That stuff in there?
TP
Oh, like fish food. Yeah, or something like that.
Amadi Brooks
Something like that. And they get it every day on their way home at the corner store station, you know, and you know that's their favorite. And instead of dressing a little pint.
TP
Okay, that's enough.
Sid
Beyonce.
Amadi Brooks
I feel like I notice.
Sid
Oh, okay. Beehive, man.
TP
I could see her liking some, like, exquisite ass flavor profile.
Amadi Brooks
I could see it being vanilla Bean.
TP
I could also see it being vanilla Bean, but I'm just like. I could see her also, like, in a sorbet. Like, maybe like a nice orange sorbet.
Amadi Brooks
You can only get in Paris.
TP
Or lemonade Nice, to be exact. Okay, Beyonce, comment below, Because we're just assuming we don't know what kind of ice cream you like, so it really be helpful if you drop a comment. Also, everybody else, even if you're not Beyonce.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
What's your favorite ice cream?
Sid
So everybody else in the world. Okay, y'. All. So that was just a little, like, Pete. That was just a game. I wanted to play this.
TP
That was so fun. I thought there was gonna be some more.
Sid
You want some more?
TP
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
Is your mind just like a game show? Like, just like, flipping through the channels?
Sid
Yeah, I think so.
Amadi Brooks
That makes sense.
Sid
Do y' all want another? Do y' all want more?
Amadi Brooks
One more?
Sid
Okay. Yeah, I want one more. An rn, a registered nurse. She's on her late night shift. Oh. In her scrub. She's making a tick tock. But she shouldn't be.
Amadi Brooks
I know what it is.
Sid
You shouldn't be recording this right now.
Amadi Brooks
And she's gonna get fired.
Sid
Okay.
Amadi Brooks
It's talenti.
Sid
Oh, okay.
Amadi Brooks
And it's one with the layers.
Sid
Oh, okay.
TP
Okay.
Amadi Brooks
You know where it's got the different layers.
Sid
Good. Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
But it's probably like, one that has a little, like, raspberry. You know, it's, like, very specific.
Sid
Okay.
Amadi Brooks
But she treats herself.
Sid
She treats herself.
TP
I think this nurse is a man.
Amadi Brooks
Sorry, that was on me.
TP
And I think. No, that's okay. There's some really powerful woman nurses. But I do think that my nurse is a man. I think that he also very Have a. Has a simple palette, and I think that he's going for, like, the bluebell birthday little cups. I think he keeps them in with the wooden communal. He's keeping them in the communal freezer. He's shoving them in the bag, hoping that nobody takes it, because last week, Jeffrey came in and was, like, snacking on.
Amadi Brooks
And he's got the personality of Gregory from Abby.
Sid
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amadi Brooks
Very sterile.
TP
Very sterile. And he's. He means business. He's also, like, one of those guys that, like, just appreciates the similar things in life.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
So, yeah, just the birthday cup. Bluebell.
Sid
I see that. I think that I like that one. Okay, last one. Kayla said a lawyer, but they lose every case. So, like, think of public defendant, like, coming in. His. His pants are kind of sagging. The belt is, like, loose fitting. His shirt is not fully tucked in. He's kind of sweating. You're like, I'm going to jail.
TP
So what I'm thinking in my head right now is going to be messy. I need something with some toppings in there. I need some.
Sid
I need on his shirt. I feel like it's on his shirt.
TP
So, like, part of me is thinking, like, just straight up cookies and cream.
Amadi Brooks
I'm getting more specific than that. I'm talking dairy Queen. He getting the three scooper sundae with the banana, the fudge, all of the things, like, like. Like cartoon type.
Sid
Yeah, yeah.
Amadi Brooks
And he coming to court with that stain on the pants.
Sid
I like that.
Amadi Brooks
There we go.
Sid
I like that a lot.
Amadi Brooks
I like that.
Sid
Okay. All right, y', all. So. Oh, I'm gonna just throw this in because I meant to mention it with the Q tip talk, but I didn't want to get us on a tangent. Y'. All.
TP
Oral.
Sid
What's the word? A U, R, A L, I think for your ear Hygiene. Hygiene. Taking care of your ears and cleaning your ears. So important. This is a call to action for everybody who has. If you got wired headphones, go look at them, clean them. Get a toothpick clean inside of them. If you have AirPods that go in a case I've had people, I've been like, oh, shoot. Like, I didn't have headphones or something. Oh, anybody got headphones? If you are gonna offer up headphones, your case cannot be filled with wax.
TP
Like, you can't have a buildup in there.
Sid
You can't have a buildup. I. And also, I can let some things go because I can let some stuff go. If there's a piece in your earphone, it's hard to, like, get earwax. Even when you clean your ears every day, a little piece might be on something. You should be. When you're opening and you're seeing brown at the top.
TP
Brownish yellow.
Sid
All right, it's time to. It's time to make some changes. So everybody go clean your earphones. And also, don't share headphones. I don't share these. I share them with Marty. I checked TPS one time when she needed. I said, you clean your ears.
TP
I have really clean ears. I'm actually, like, disappointed in how clean my ears are. Sometimes I want to, like, clean it and get, like, more out of my ear, but I'm like, I haven't Q tipped my ear in a while. Why don't I have more buildup in here in my self cleaning?
Amadi Brooks
Because you're pushing it into that scar.
TP
What's going on?
Sid
Ears. You get to look. I get to be in myself with that Q tip. I'm like, this way, starting to feel a little good.
TP
You're like, what was that?
Sid
Your eye gets a roll. You said, oh, my God.
Amadi Brooks
No, for real. I.
Sid
Am I in a relationship?
Amadi Brooks
When they. When they put them in a little clear container on the counter, it's like they asking for you to do. Every time you go in there, they just teasing you. They whispering like, hey, girl, you see this cute, sexy ass jar I'm in?
Sid
Take me out.
TP
Grab me.
Sid
I bet you won't grab me. I said, I bet. I bet I will. I bet I will. I'll open it a little bit and then close.
TP
I like when I get swirled between your fingers. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Sid
What?
TP
I thought we were all talking about Q tips.
Sid
No, no, no. For sure. Okay, y'. All. Yo, yo, yo. What? Very fun segment one I was looking forward to the most.
Amadi Brooks
Okay.
Sid
Because I know both of y' all have watched because you watch part of it with me, and I know that you finish.
TP
Hell yeah.
Sid
Spoiler alert is back.
TP
Let's get it. It's been a while.
Sid
Chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side. Damn. That was a time.
TP
That was a time. Bring back early 2000s music.
Sid
L'.
Amadi Brooks
Oreal.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
Yep.
Sid
Cause I'm worth it. We're about to talk about all her fault.
Amadi Brooks
Please, let's get into it.
Sid
All her fault, y'. All.
Amadi Brooks
Let's talk about it. So let's talk about.
Sid
Let's talk about it.
TP
Oh, my God.
Sid
So anybody who hasn't watched all her fathers on Peacock, shout out to peacock. I want to see your peacock.
TP
Your peacock.
Sid
What is that?
TP
I don't know. That's some song that people used to sing in middle school. That's all I know about the song.
Sid
Okay. That was. Okay.
Amadi Brooks
Okay, well, It. Was there a dance with it?
TP
No. I don't even. I can't even. I'm not even confident who sings it.
Amadi Brooks
When you said it, I felt like it had one.
Sid
That's what I was doing. That's what I was. Okay.
TP
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
Like, you slapped that on that leg.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
Hey, you come back up.
Sid
I can see it.
Amadi Brooks
Okay.
Sid
Okay.
TP
I don't know.
Sid
Young Milo has gone missing. The show starts off captivating from jump. Marissa Knox. Actually, she rang the doorbell a lot. She rang the doorbell. Old lady came to the door. Hey, how you doing? I'm here to pick up Milo. The lady's like, ain't no Milo here, girl. Milo here. She, like, got a towel in her hand. She's, like, doing some other activity, but, like, I don't know who Milo is. Ain't no Milo here. She said what? She's checking her phone. Like, oh, well, you know, Jenny said that they would be. You know, Milo would be here. She's like, yeah, no, like. So she tries to call a number, Goes to call the number. Disconnected. This number's out of service.
Amadi Brooks
My heart is racing.
Sid
Heart is racing. This is a minute into the movie. This is one minute into the. Into the show. One minute into the show. So we're about to go on this crazy journey to find out who took Milo. Stop listening now. If you haven't watched it.
Amadi Brooks
Yeah, don't listen. But we about to talk about it.
TP
Y', all, because this show took you on so many mental.
Amadi Brooks
It was like Clue.
TP
Everybody was. Everybody was a large guess.
Amadi Brooks
Everybody at one point.
Sid
Yep. Even the brother when they got to.
Amadi Brooks
The house and the brother, you thought it was you. You were suspicious of the brother from John.
Sid
I'm suspicious that everybody's a drug addict sister.
TP
I'm like, she's off.
Sid
I was suspicious of the husbands.
Amadi Brooks
I was never suspicious of my girl.
Sid
Me neither.
Amadi Brooks
I rocked with her.
Sid
Me too.
Amadi Brooks
I trusted her from the jump. I thought it was the husband.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
I just had an energy, but I felt like they was trying to throw me off. I was like, oh, that's kind of the obvious one. But I just had. He got that look. You know how some people just had that look no matter what they play in, you know, they did something messed up?
Sid
So whenever they do that in shows, it's called the red herring. It's like somebody that they use to try to distract you from, like, the main issue or the main point. So they do it in SVU a lot. Yeah, I always know when I'm watching svu. It's not always that. It's not the.
Amadi Brooks
It's not the guy at the bodega.
Sid
It's not the guy at the bodega. It's somebody close to you that you know and somebody that you showed early in the show. But you keep trying to throw us off. Okay. You didn't suspect that it was him. You thought it was everybody. I had a.
TP
Well, also, he was in the everybody. But it's not like it narrowed it down.
Sid
Right. So they started doing stuff like, okay, Marissa. The family has money. Marissa's best friend is Lawrence from Insecure. And we found out that he has a gambling problem. So immediately it's looking like he might be involved in some stuff. He's moving funny with the money. He's saying he'll take care of the.
Amadi Brooks
And technically, if it wasn't for his gambling problem, we wouldn't even. I don't know if Kerry and Milo would have crossed paths 100%, so. But I was like, damn, they gotta put it on Lawrence. Even though I can't stand Lawrence. That's rollover. That's not his fault. That's just.
Sid
We brought that beef from inside.
Amadi Brooks
I took that from the past.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
You had no chance.
TP
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
With me, I knew he was involved, too. I didn't know how.
Sid
Yeah, it was. It was the. The husband for me, early on. And then once stuff started happening where he's actively telling the siblings, like, I need you. I need you to be sick. Yeah, I need you to be. The messed up ones.
TP
When he didn't give the brother the surgery or he didn't refer the surgery.
Sid
Yeah. So the. The brother. I forgot what exactly.
TP
He got into an accident when he was a kid. Yeah.
Sid
He needed.
TP
For all those that didn't watch the show, the ending of the show has a lot to do with how the accident happened because the dad was keeping the secret and that he let his brother and sister think that it was the sister's fault that the brother's been partially paralyzed, I guess, or some kind of has a disability walking. And he's. He lives with a lot of pain every day with a spinal injury.
Sid
So he needed a surgery. He found out that Peter Irvine, Milo's dad, withheld that information. And not just withheld the information, but told the doctor that he didn't need it because he didn't want him to. Like, to get it. To be able to go live on his own and have his own life.
Amadi Brooks
He's the perfect example of the narcissist that we were talking about when she asked Him. In the midst of all the chaos that was going on, what is your favorite thing about Milo?
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
And this man said, when Milo has nightmares, so I can go help him get back to sleep. I said, oh, he's yeah.
Sid
Sick. Throwed off and it's deep root.
Amadi Brooks
And she knew at that point.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
Cause at that point when you found that out about your husband, you kinda like, damn, I want my son back, but I don't want him around your ass. You are sick.
Sid
You're sick. And I never believed that it was Jenny Kaminsky.
Amadi Brooks
Nah, Dakota, She's a bad bitch. Dakota's problem was always gonna be her man. I was always like, the man got.
TP
Knew it wasn't Dakota. When Dakota, Dakota's husband, who is a piece of. She needs to leave that man.
Amadi Brooks
Gross.
TP
He's like, oh, yeah.
Sid
He knows nothing about their child.
Amadi Brooks
I have to also unpack something. I kind of want to talk to Peacock directly. How was they living in that fat house? Dakota. I know Dakota had a big girl job, but. But he was like an English teacher.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
One of their families had money. She was her. No, she was the marketing.
Sid
Like, yeah.
Amadi Brooks
But it seemed like she's got that.
TP
Crazy deal, so I'm sure she's doing other deals in order to get that crazy.
Sid
But he treated her job as though.
Amadi Brooks
Yes, it was.
TP
I think that's a man. I think that was him being like, yeah, no, I'm a high school substitute teacher, though.
Sid
Yeah. I gotta stay at their school for quizzics.
Amadi Brooks
That was so wild.
TP
I'm like, you have a full blown son.
Sid
A full blown son. And he was just in the parking lot eating snacks, scrolling, watching tiktoks when she needed help at home.
Amadi Brooks
That scene almost made me get out the car for her. I wanted to jump through the TV.
TP
For her when she was just staring at him for a minute.
Amadi Brooks
I knew it. I felt that she acted her ass.
Sid
I told that part when I say, I was like, she about to divorce him.
Amadi Brooks
You know, Sid was so geeked. Sid applauded. Like, you know how, like, you cheer for football games?
Sid
Yeah. Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
That's how Sid was when she said, I want a divorce.
Sid
Tackle him.
TP
Yes.
Sid
I said, let's go.
Amadi Brooks
She got up, started pacing.
Sid
Because, you know, in shows they just let the woman keep being in a terrible marriage and she just. The show ends with her in the marriage. And I just go on thinking about her. I'm like, well, that's her life, unfortunately. Poor thing. Like, you know, But I always knew it wasn't Dakota. We know Dakota from Uptown Girls. We know Dakota from Man on Fire.
Amadi Brooks
Dakota is cool with Denzel Washington.
Sid
You know what I'm saying?
Amadi Brooks
She can't do stuff like that.
Sid
She wouldn't do this. Like, think writers. What. Think people.
Amadi Brooks
We carrying it over again.
Sid
We're 100% carrying it over. But I'm just like, the brother's sickness that we learned as the show went on. So y'. All. There was an accident when they were younger, and he let the sister believe that, like, her drug addiction comes from believing that she got her brother injured and living in the state that he's in. So their relationship has a rift. And he's been watching all of this, but also orchestrating to keep it how it is. He's always like, she's the druggie. You probably had something to do with Milo's disappearance. Like, probably some.
Amadi Brooks
He was a gaslighter.
Sid
He was like, you probably didn't pay back some. Probably didn't pay somebody or you owe somebody some money or. He was talking about Colin with his gambling. Like, you probably got a bookie, you owe. Which was true. Which was true. But you. He tripped his brother accidentally when they were younger, and he.
Amadi Brooks
Well, he didn't accidentally do.
Sid
He tripped him. He led to a freak accident.
Amadi Brooks
Paraplegic.
Sid
It was just something that you do. You could. People have freak accidents. You're playing with siblings. But where he went wrong was letting them believe that it was.
TP
The sisters immediately thought, she did it. She was, like, in the vicinity. So she went crying to her mom, saying, I did it. I did it.
Sid
Yeah.
TP
The older brother was just like.
Sid
He was like, I was in the kitchen. I was in the kitchen when this happened. And the brother, like, noticed some inconsistencies with his story. He was like, how did you see this if you were in the kitchen? The way the house was shaped, you wouldn't have been able to see me fall. Turns out he was in the living room. The brother is running from. The sister turns a corner. Huh?
Amadi Brooks
I just can't get over it.
Sid
The brother's running from. The sister turns his head and is turning the corner. The brother sticks out his foot. He trips. But the sister doesn't know that he was right there. She just sees him hit his head, go down. She takes off to the parents to tell them what happened. So he. The brother passes out because he's hit in whatever part of his head. He's unconscious. The brother acts like he's in the kitchen for years. So when he's telling, he's like, I didn't Mean, for, like, it to go down like this? I just. The lie just got big. They were like, no. Like, you let us believe these things for years. This isn't a small lie.
TP
There's, like, a lie that's like, oh, yeah, I did throw away your homework. And then there's, like.
Sid
There's a lot like, oh, I didn't flush the toilet. That poop was mine.
TP
Oh, so it was. And then there's lies that, like, you just let your sister, who's clearly struggling with mental illness and addiction because of a lie that you won't clear up, and you're the only one that could. Yeah, clear it up.
Sid
It's insane, actually. But I don't know. Y'. All. Do y' all have more that troubled you with the show? I just thought that was, like, a spoiler alert we had to copy because Milo ended up. They ended up getting Milo back because the husband.
Amadi Brooks
I think that.
TP
Yeah, I think the husband threw him in a trunk.
Amadi Brooks
The biggest thing to me, the. I think granted the brother the everything. Him switching them babies.
TP
Yeah, babies. Was so. There was a major car accident.
Amadi Brooks
Switching them babies. I said, oh, that's a demon.
Sid
Yeah, he switched them.
Amadi Brooks
We are dealing with something otherworldly at this point. He went and took a. Another person's baby, swapped it with his. He carried his dead child, unbuckled his dead child to take it to her car.
Sid
And then. And so the girl that. The girl whose baby he took, she's the one that took Milo because that's her son, her biological time.
Amadi Brooks
Carrie wasn't crazy, and really, she didn't even need the baby back. She just wanted to spend time with him.
TP
Yeah, she would have weird. Like, she did go kind of weird, but.
Amadi Brooks
But look at her mom, right? We got to go back to the roots. The mom was. The mom was. Was a piece of work herself.
Sid
Yeah. So she. She had a tough hand from the car.
Amadi Brooks
Never had a chance.
Sid
She didn't really have a chance.
Amadi Brooks
Jo. What, Josephine?
Sid
Yeah, Josephine. But the husband, when Marissa sees him shoot the girl, when she's like, no, just take the gun. You can have it. Like, I'm not going to. He puts that. Shoots that girl in the face.
TP
That was so much.
Sid
Marissa's like, you just killed her. He's like, no, she was trying to. She was trying to shoot us. She was trying to kill us. She said, I watched you. She was trying to give you the gun. But he was still actively gaslighting and lying.
TP
It was so much so that it.
Amadi Brooks
Led to a murder, like, to Me, I feel like stories like that, relationships like that, that people deal with in real life, that's true horror. Like forget conjuring and all that stuff like that is scary to me.
Sid
Yeah. Hella sc. She does end up getting his ass back because she's like, I can't live with this, man. He'll. He'll do something to our child or to me in the future. He's a serial killer right now as of now.
Amadi Brooks
I loved when the sister let her rock when she got interrogated.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
And she was like, did you see her check the ingredients?
Sid
Yeah. Yeah. The sister was.
TP
The sister was like, yeah or no. I didn't, I didn't see him read anything.
Sid
The sister saw Marissa.
TP
The sister wanted him to go down for sure. Everybody did. Everybody was plotting against him when all the.
Amadi Brooks
It was a perfect storm.
Sid
It was perfect. It was so perfect. And so it was good to see him slowly die from a soy allergy.
Amadi Brooks
Like you're so, you're so weak.
Sid
And it was cuz she kissed him. She ate something with soy. Kissed that man kiss death.
Amadi Brooks
Like you can't like. It was like that. Stand up. We watched the other day when he said his mom told him he can't be a gangster cuz he got a nut allergy.
Sid
Oh yeah.
Amadi Brooks
There's just some things that you just can't do. You can't be walking around being evil like that. And all I got to do is pour a little milk on you.
TP
That's.
Sid
A little almond milk. And you are, you're bold.
Amadi Brooks
Let me trip with my Starbucks on you real quick.
Sid
Actually the drive by is just peanuts.
TP
You're like, whoa. I will say that I did like the investigator. I like the. I like that he was being a dad with a special needs 13 year old son that like brought a level of like empathy to the show and like understanding to the show. I really love how when the mom of Milo realized what the investigator like what his home life looked like. I love how she like got to know him a little bit too. It made the, the whole thing seem a little bit more personal because you know when all the truths come out the. They showed the investigator always trying to do the right thing.
Amadi Brooks
Yeah.
TP
And then he finally gives in to get his son into a special school.
Amadi Brooks
I, I rocked with it.
TP
I rock with it too because I'm like, he wouldn't be the guy. But the fact that everybody else is doing it, why not? Also the fact that he let a guy that needed to go down go down. I'm like, sometimes the law isn't exactly the law. If you.
Sid
There are so many loopholes with the law.
TP
Like. But also, like, if somebody is getting trafficked and then they kill their. They're. Yeah. Then. Yeah. That's the way of the world. Like, you shouldn't have stole the child or the woman, whatever it looks like, you deserve to die. Like, I'm not. She's not going to court to me.
Sid
No, you should just.
TP
We should congratulate her. We need to give her a badge of honor, and then we need to move on because that person's no longer in the world to harm anybody else.
Amadi Brooks
Yeah. No, but I knew. I knew it was going to be good. And I knew I was going to like his character because when you see him, I got to figure out his name. Name.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
We don't put enough respect on his name.
Sid
Oh, I love his acting.
Amadi Brooks
Every time I see him pop up when the show is on, I said, oh, this is about to be good. He does not play about his roles. He always got a great role. Michael Pena.
Sid
Michael Pena. Yep. Yeah, he's that. He's that guy. He's that guy.
Amadi Brooks
I love him.
Sid
Okay, y', all, so this was really fun. I hope you all enjoyed the journey through my mind a little bit. I don't feel like it was that crazy. I'll definitely do another one.
TP
No, it's a mild version.
Sid
You could do one. You do one too. But that was fun. Amadi loved having you on. But we're gonna finish with you up here because I'm gonna read the DM to y'. All.
Amadi Brooks
Okay.
Sid

Amadi Brooks
Oh, I was excited. I was like, oh, really?
TP
Oh, no. Sorry, buddy.
Sid
Oh. Lmao. All right, so we got a DM from. Okay, here's my drama. My. My mom's dad, he's a piece of. Way back before I was alive in like the 80s. He cheated on my nanny, my mom's mom, with some ugly ass Forrest Gump looking lady. My baby and Bambi and Bambi got divorced where her nanny and Bambi got divorced a few decades later, once I was alive, got back together. Well, my nanny's dead. Has been dead for about 10 years now. My Bambi has a long term girlfriend of eight years. So I was driving with my uncle to go pick something up from my Bambi. We get there, I go in and guess who the I see Miss big nose look looking like she got hit by a baseball. Bow legged bitch with my Bambi. Mind you, he has no idea that I know what he did to my nanny. So you know, I don't say anything. I get what I needed and head to the car. But I wait for a bit in the car and see them start kissing and you know what? Through the window. Oh, when I tell you I took the picture so fast and drive at a speed no new driver should be driving at to get back to my mom to show her what I saw. Hey, be careful driving next time though. That's a girl's girls move. That's a true girls girl.
Amadi Brooks
But you got to do a dramatic.
Sid
Oh, okay.
Amadi Brooks
You got to do it for the plot.
Sid
Okay.
Amadi Brooks
I would set it up to where I'm bringing. Wait, do we like the girlfriend?
TP
Yeah, that was my question. I was like, how do we feel.
Sid
About she likes the girlfriend. She talked about keeping contact with the girlfriend she wants to keep. She don't like the new girl. Bow legged.
Amadi Brooks
So I would tell her privately, allow her to get receive the news. But then once she's in a good enough space. If she's in a good enough space. We gotta embarrass this man. Yeah, we gotta embarrass this man. What was that at the grocery store? He was kissing her up.
Sid
No, in the car.
TP
How old is Bambi for him to.
Amadi Brooks
Be in the car? Where at the grocery store?
Sid
I was driving my mom to go pick something up for my Bambi. We get there, I go in and guess who I see. So it's outside in the car.
TP
Bambi sounds like he answers questions like, yeah, I'm 84 years young.
Sid
That's for sure him. Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
Cause I also now that I'm about it, he might know not care.
TP
He's done. If he's rich, he's just living b rich.
Amadi Brooks
He done cheated on nanny. Good old nanny. Cheating on. Yeah, cheating on new. New lady.
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
He really don't care. He ain't got no integrity.
Sid
Yeah, yeah. So should she. So she should set.
Amadi Brooks
She should definitely tell the girlfriend money. She set him up for the money. He gonna give it to you because he really don't care. He might not give it to you because he don't care. You know what I'm saying? Like he might be like, okay, go tell her. He gonna try to call your bluff.
TP
What if he's like, yeah, no, she already knows. It's actually I didn't want you guys to find out but this.
Amadi Brooks
That's why I said he needs to talk to her privately first. Talk to the girlfriend privately first.
Sid
Oh, hey. Yeah. Sorry to bring that to your attention, but your. Your Bambi might be in a throuple.
TP
Oh, the situation is stressful.
Sid
That's something to contemplate. I'm glad this isn't one of our personal problems in our life.
TP
Yeah, I don't transparently. Like, I don't know how I'd be able to handle this. I would be. I would be a papa. If Papa Jake.
Amadi Brooks
Sorry.
TP
If Papa Jake was stepping out on my. Mama Marion. Rest in peace, Mama Marion. And then Papa Jake told me about this lovely lady that lives in this neighborhood. He was like, yeah, she wanted a tour of my house, and for some reason, she wanted to get the tour of the bedroom last. And he, like, looked at me very hard for a long time without any words. After that, I was like, I hate what you're insinuating right now. This makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. Papa Jake. Love him, though. Shout out to Papa Jake. He's 96. He was telling everybody that he was 69 backwards. No, he was telling everybody that he was 67.
Sid
Oh, six. Oh. I don't know what that means. Okay.
TP
I didn't even intentionally do that.
Sid
No, I know. Everything just works out the way it's supposed to.
Amadi Brooks
Okay. So I feel like if she's a girl. Girl's girl. For real. For real. Go talk to.
Sid
Not.
Amadi Brooks
No.
Sid
Oh, the girlfriend.
Amadi Brooks
Yeah, talk to the girlfriend. Just talk to her one on one. I. I know, like, it's cool to, like, extort people, but not a pastime of mine. I got, like, hobbies sometimes. I have pride. Like, I don't even want show money. Bum. Yeah, I don't need your money. I'm just telling you because you also need to avoid, like you said, if this is a poly situation, because it could very much.
TP
We're in 2025.
Amadi Brooks
You should just go talk to her first, just to see where her reaction is. And just then you can decide how you want to move from there. And if that involves extortion and.
TP
Because what if her.
Amadi Brooks
So be it.
TP
What if the girlfriend was like, what? They did what? Without me?
Sid
Yeah.
Amadi Brooks
So now you can just back out now, you know, you need to go mind your business.
TP
Exactly.
Amadi Brooks
See, like, I think it's just your next step to figure out the final step.
TP
Like, don't come in guns a blazing. Tread lightly. Approach the situation very delicately. But.
Amadi Brooks
But have a contingency plan. I'm very much so. Of A planner. Like, I was Plan B.
TP
Just in case. Just in case.
Sid
I like that.
Amadi Brooks
But they could be freaked out. You heard what they be doing in them senior citizen communities in Florida?
Sid
No, what do they do?
Amadi Brooks
I know. I lived in West Palm beach for a while.
Sid
Yeah. So how'd you get this gossip, though? How you get this?
Amadi Brooks
Maybe I know somebody that has somebody in their family that live in one of them communities.
Sid
Okay, maybe.
Amadi Brooks
Yeah, maybe.
Sid
What do you know?
Amadi Brooks
Or maybe it was just on Tick Tock. Who knows?
Sid
Okay, what do you know?
Amadi Brooks
But there's a community out there, and I can't remember what it's called. I'm gonna have to look it up. But basically it's a whole town of seniors, and they all, like, have golf carts to get around. They all have nice little houses. They have community events and things like that.
Sid
But.
Amadi Brooks
There'S rumors of swinging going on, like, within the town they was on. There's like, this drag show where Bob. I feel like Bob the drag queen and like, like two other queens go to this town to, like, kind of help people. And it could be small towns. It's just towns that typically would not care for drag queens being in the town, but they're going to either help someone specifically or, like, help turn around a club or et cetera, to show there's a different perception of drag queens. Yeah, Yeah, I think they went to that place.
Sid
That's freaky. That's crazy.
Amadi Brooks
Yeah, that's crazy. And like, it's like the golf carts. You know how they have those, like, singles parties where if you take a green cup up if you're in a relationship, you know, whatever. The color coding parties. Okay. Yeah.
Sid
So they.
TP
What's a color coding party?
Sid
We're gonna have to do a deep dive in.
Amadi Brooks
Into this next time.
Sid
Yeah, next time. Okay.
TP
Well, yeah, I hope that's the answer you were looking for.
Sid
Sorry.
Amadi Brooks
I hope I am.
Sid
Yeah. Take what you want.
TP
I hope we brought some things that you should think about. To the right to the table.
Sid
Keep us posted, though, Marty.
TP
It's always a treat when you're around. Thank you for coming on with us today. Thank you for sharing a little bit about yourself and your insight.
Sid
Yeah, that was fun. Did you have fun?
Amadi Brooks
I had a great time. I feel like I checked something off my bucket list today, period. I was honored. Thank you.
TP
Matching tattoos after this, y'. All.
Sid
And for the rest of y', all, y' all know what it is if you got drama. You need advice. You want to share something nice you did for somebody. Hit us up at unsupervised cidcp. Know what the going on.
TP
And don't forget to throw kindness around like confetti. Until next week, you guys. It's been fun.
Amadi Brooks
Keeping it real. On brand, off topic, out of pocket. Anything you need, they got it. Why don't you shop when you know they going blocking when it's game time and you know, cover everything.
Sid
Like, did you know when somebody leaves, you're like, face pretty. I can win.
Amadi Brooks
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Like a magnet, baby.
Sid
Hey, Ratchet baby.
Amadi Brooks
Love the way I smack it, baby.
Sid
You snakey.
Episode: "Syd & The Sister Wives"
Date: November 20, 2025
Host: Dear Media
In this fast-paced, unpredictable episode, Syd Colson and Theresa Plaisance ("TP") bring their signature, off-the-rails group chat energy to the podcast, joined by special guest Amadi Brooks (Syd’s partner and “sister wife”). The trio riff on everything from life updates, smart (and not-so-smart) spending, social media pressure, and affordable fun, to the art of gaslighting, pop culture analyses, and the true PR of otters. They also tackle a listener’s messy family drama in their notorious DM advice segment.
All quotes include attribution and timestamps.

On Social Media, Comparison, and Debt
On Thrifting
Academic Integrity
Gaslighting Game
On Otters’ PR
A hilarious, convoluted family drama gets dissected– involving messy grandpas (“Bambi”), throuples, and how to break unfortunate news to a longtime girlfriend (“Just talk to her one on one...”). The group gives heartfelt and equally comedic advice about being a girls’ girl– always making sure a friend knows the truth, while navigating generational and modern “scandal.”
See: 63:00–69:40
The episode is casual, quick-witted, self-aware, and skips seamlessly from pop psychology to mundane details and wild digressions. The humor is sharp but inviting, balancing earnest life observations with zany, irreverent bits. The hosts frequently break the fourth wall to “talk to the babysitters”—their affectionate term for listeners.
This episode is a classic “Unsupervised” experience: untamed, authentic, and hilarious—perfect for anyone who misses the feeling of late-night texts in the group chat. Whether it’s serious lessons on self-worth and finances, wild games, or pop culture rants, Syd, TP, and Amadi keep things (mostly) unsupervised, but always real.
